I went for a different approach with the Donald Trump portrait Lord of the Flies (Where is the Id?). It was inspired by the misogynistic comments by Trump, the article "Donald Trump Just Stopped Being Funny" by Matt Taibbi, and a comment by Jon Stewart. This work was made from lipstick, body color,  and pencil. 

I felt that the Trump situation, like John Stewart said,  was "America's id is running for president." He was like all of America's irrationality, ignorance, and stupidity all wrapped into to one hateful package. "Donald Trump Just Stopped Being Funny," brought up the fact that people were actually taking Trump seriously as a candidate which discouraged my faith in America's wise decision making. Taibbi brings up the fact that serious candidates aren't confronting him appropriately, the super ego completely disassociating itself with the id. This made me wonder who would be the ego. Who would confront both sides of this political subconscious?

In addition with his sexist comments and the great discomfort he caused for his wife, I felt that he was too ignorant. I used makeup supplies almost as a way to explain to myself that he does not know women and probably never can. To him, a woman's opinion is no more than idle chatter, when we are supposed to be living in an era where man and woman stand on equal ground. Everything about him confounds me, but then I realize that he is not a man. He will not wake up in the morning only to be told by society that he is not pretty enough, that he has to add layers and layers of essentially grease in order to be considered "pretty." He will never understand the pain that women go through, so him basically shutting down women, brought forth an anger in me, but an understanding that he will never truly go through what women go through.
